Welcome

Hi, my name is Stephen Bevan and I am Principal at Tuart Hill Primary School in Perth, Western Australia. Research shows that open and clear communication between home and school is important which is why I have created this blog. As Principal of Tuart Hill Primary School I value your opinions and encourage your comments. Feel free to comment on any of the posts.

I will endeavour to provide you with regular and informative posts about our school and its activities. I ask that your comments be constructive and positive with any concerns or complaints directed to me personally at school.

Tuart Hill Primary School prides itself on the positive, open and friendly culture that has been established. Our vision is to raise the literacy level of all students through the provision of quality teaching and learning opportunities.

Front page of last week's newsletter


Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members

This is the last newsletter for Semester 1. Half of the year is now just about over and we are already starting to reflect on our school plans in order to begin preparing for Semester 2 as well as the 2013 school year. So many excellent activities have already taken place with many more yet to come.

We are looking forward to seeing our kitchen garden program become established as a key focus of our school. Mrs O’Neil has been appointed as the coordinator of the program and we look forward to her leadership in this area.

You may have noticed that we only have 5 chickens left in our coop. Unfortunately we have had a (yet to be determined) sickness spread through our chickens which has resulted in their deaths with 2 being euthanized and three dying overnight. We are attempting to get a clear diagnosis of the specific disease that they have in order to provide ongoing treatment. Until this time the chicken coop has been quarantined with only selected staff permitted to enter. On the holidays a number of staff have volunteered to come and clean out our aquaponic tanks in order to provide a nicer looking environment for our fish and yabbies.

Those of you who regularly read my blog http://mbevan.blogspot.com.au/ would already have heard that I am going on teacher exchange to Canada in 2013. Mr Aaron Hoffman will be joining our staff as a senior primary teacher. Aaron comes from Okanagan Landing Elementary School in Vernon British Columbia. The Principal’s position will be filled by our Deputy Principals with Mrs vanderWal taking on the role in Semester 1 and Mr Ralph in Semester 2. Selected teachers will then be placed in the vacant Deputy Principal positions.

Semester 1 student reports will be sent home on Thursday July 5. Parents are invited to make appointments with their child’s teacher early in Term 3 to discuss any concerns or questions they may have about their progress.

School closes on Friday July 6 and reopens on Tuesday July 24. As this is the last newsletter of the term I wish all our students a safe and happy holiday break.
